The Sangliers pond and the megalithic stone

Discover Montigny, its village, rural and forest heritage, as you wander through the streets and marked forest paths of the Roumare National Forest. During your walk, you will have the opportunity to admire an 18th-century castle and a traditional farmhouse called the "Maison Rouge". A few steps further on, you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the Sangliers pond. Then, on the Allée Verte, discover one of the curiosities of this trail: a megalithic stone believed to have been used for druidic rituals.
